Hmm, how would I know if my milk supply went down? I have not been very "full" and last night Meg (who will be 4 months old next week) kept me up nursing abt 8 times -- is this normal? The last feeding a few minutes ago seemed to be a lot of sucking on a floppy tit and not much swallowing. ...

I am considering scheduling surgery for November. Nursling DS will be 21 months. Nursling DD will be over 3, potentially weaned. I am fearful of taking antibiotics in general, even more so since I fear thrush as a result. I mean, thrush aside, I feel like my little bugs and I are in a good...

Dear group, About 2 weeks ago Meg found that thumb and since then she has been nursing less often (she is 3.5 months now, was born at 40weeks + 10 days so maybe she's like many four months olds, and about 16 pounds hwp). I'm guessing this is just maturity -- she's making far fewer poos also and...

What is the stuff in the temporary filling? I know it is zinc oxide and eugenol (clove oil) for pain and bacteria relief. Is this sometihng the dentsist adds to the zinc oxide or is it mixed in with it. Can the doc keep the euganol out for BF mums? Is it safe if you are breastfeeding? Thanks in...

Hi all, our two-month-old is generally a very good-natured little guy, but when he can't burp, we have a rough night. We're trying all sorts of ideas for burping him better, so far without stunning success. We've even tried soy-based formula for the little bit we're supplementing (it's down to 5...

We've been bf'ing (with sns assist) for a month now. It's working ok; DS is gaining weight like crazy, mom can pump 4 ounces easily in one quick sitting, and baby is generally happy and not too colicky. Problem is, mom isn't really enjoying it yet. Her nipples are pretty sore from DS latching on...

My ds just turned one and I want to stop breastfeeding. I haved loved it, but want and need to stop. I work and just can't take pumping anymore. I just don't know how to wean. My older son never nursed so this is my first experience with weaning. Right now he nurses, or takes a bottle when I...

how is baby grant going?

Hello. I'm having some issues with my baby latching on. I've posted a few times in the past but mostly I've been "lurking" on the group. Jeff was born 11 weeks premature and just recently (last Friday) came home from the NICU after 56 days inhouse. While in the hospital he was bottle feeding...

Any advice for sore nipples? Our baby is in the NICU and is still too young to BF. I have been exclusively pumping and I am keeping the suction as low as possible but the nipples are really sore. I have been putting purelan 100 on each time I pump and it is helping but they are still very...

Hello everyone. We just had a lovely little boy on January 7th. He was 29 weeks and is currently residing at the NICU at our hospital. He's doing very well so far and I am trying my best to give him as much breast milk as possible. He is currently getting food through a tube and I am...

Hello everyone. I am the mother of a 4.5 month old preemie. He has an adjusted age of 2 months. I have been BF since he came home from the NICU. I've posted here a few times but I had a few questions about my milk supply. I was originally pumping about 9 times a day while he was in the hospital....

Just a question~it seems that I remember some research being reported maybe 4-5 years back that linked girls who had been given the CP vaccine as a child with infertility issues later on. It didn't say anything about any issues with boys. Does anyone else remember this? This has been in the back...
